    In a move that can be best described as a heartfelt tribute to its roots, Jordan Brand is once again reaching back into its illustrious history. This time, the spotlight is on the Air Jordan 1 Low with an '85 overhaul that harkens back to the silhouette's original design lines.

    More than three years have passed since Jordan Brand embarked on a nostalgic journey, bringing the Air Jordan 1 back to its roots with the classic specs of the OG. It was a transformative move, recalling the brand’s pioneering days, and now, that sense of homage is extending to the Air Jordan 1 Low. The latest offering sees this iconic silhouette's low-top trim lavished with the same vintage 1985-inspired touch, this time in the much-cherished "Neutral Grey" colorway.

    Official retailer images reveal that this rendition is not just another retro release. Instead, it’s a thoughtful reimagining. Unlike the AJ1 Low OG "Neutral Grey" that dropped in 2020, this 2023 version leans heavily into a genuine, period-correct aesthetic. Its construction mirrors the original, almost note-for-note, boasting a sleeker profile and Swoosh design and unmistakably reminiscent of the 38-year-old icon.

    Yet, Jordan Brand is not merely replicating the past but also infusing subtle contemporary touches that set this version apart. The design integrates a pre-yellowed midsole—a nostalgic nod to the natural aging process of classic sneakers. Meanwhile, the grey suedes employed in this version are notably lighter than the original, offering a fresh and modern reinterpretation of the classic "Neutral Grey."

    With these nuanced design elements, Jordan Brand strikes a beautiful balance. The Air Jordan 1 Low '85 "Neutral Grey" is both a respectful nod to the past and a bold stride into the present, embodying the timeless essence that fans of the brand have come to love and expect.

    The Air Jordan 1 Low '85 "Neutral Grey" is expected to release on October 25th, 2023, for a retail price of $170.
